Project development of wind and PV parks: Site-selection, permitting of procurement, realization, construction of turnkey projects, repowering, operations management, project purchasing, cooperation.
As a full-service developer, the UKA Group plans, builds, operates, and sells wind and photovoltaic (PV) farms. It provides sustainable power supplies in Germany, Europe and America that are independent of fossil energy imports, ensure low electricity generation costs, and are climate-friendly.
As an energy park developer, the UKA Group plans, builds, operates, and sells wind, photovoltaic (PV) and battery storage projects. It contributes to a sustainable power supply in Germany, Europe and America that is independent of fossil fuel imports, ensures lower power prices, and is climate-friendly. UKA is an owner-managed company that has been pursuing a long-term business strategy since its founding in 1999. The company’s employees are committed to delivering the best possible project results that meet the highest economic and quality standards. All projects are systematically advanced, even when external circumstances require an extra measure of patience and perseverance.
The UKA Group is one of the leading project developers for renewable energies in Germany with 1.5 GW of onshore wind projects under construction in its home market. Furthermore, an impressive project pipeline of currently 6.5 GW in the international markets alone underlines its attractive business prospects abroad.
Independence and an excellent credit rating ensure a long-term perspective
The UKA Group has been owner-managed since its founding in 1999: A committed long-term management team stands behind the Group’s success, rather than a publicly listed company or a financial investor. This management continuity and financial independence secure the necessary freedom for entrepreneurial decisions and enable long-term perspectives free from the constraints of quarterly reports. UKA has been awarded an excellent credit rating by credit agency “Creditreform”, one achieved by only 2% of all companies in Germany.
Complex projects and exemplary solutions
As an expert in wind energy in forested locations, UKA has already commissioned several wind power installations in commercial forests. A specialist agency – Fachagentur Windenergie an Land – has identified the "Göllnitz-Lieskau-Rehain" project as a good-practice example of sustainable wind projects in forest locations. It exemplifies project development in close coordination with citizens.
The Group successfully executes repowering projects. For this purpose, UKA examines whether local conditions such as height or distance regulations, planning law and turbine firing of potentially suitable wind power plants, allow for repowering. In 2021, for example, twelve turbines were modernized and optimized at the Warnsdorf wind farm in Brandenburg, Germany. The new wind turbines produce even more green electricity with an increase of the rated output by 3.6 compared to the old turbines and they can now supply energy to more than 40,000 households.
UKA effectively leads conservation compensation and replacement measures in the context of wind energy projects. The project "Schäferwiese" in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Germany, e.g., compensates the wind turbines of the Parchim wind farm, which were projected and built by UKA.
Local partnership and global presence
The energy park developer supports all phases of a project as a financially strong and implementation-oriented partner – regardless of the plant type. Flexible and situation-specific cooperation models enable mutual collaboration and the shaping of the energy transition with joint forces.
The UKA Group is currently expanding its business activities in other European markets like Italy (Rome) and Poland (Szczecin) including UKA Iberia which operates from Madrid. In addition, UKA North America in Florida and Illinois as well as UKA Chile in Santiago de Chile are driving promising renewable energy projects in North, Central and South America.
